One tonne bags will definitely block a drain

As you may expect, we find some truly fascinating things down drain pipes. Some are strange but make sense such as a child’s toy that has fallen down the garden drain pipe.  Others are to be expected such as hair and food waste that has got stuck.

Others however are only there because of others laziness and lack of care.  And that is exactly why we were called out to a job in the West End of Glasgow this month because a blocked drain had been caused by none other than some bags.

These aren’t the plastic bags you would associate with supermarkets etc. Oh no. These are the specialised ‘one tonne’ bags used in construction for the likes of laying new garden driveways with gravel.  While we don’t want to point fingers, it is very unlikely that these bags simply got blown by a strong wind under the manhole cover.  Someone has clearly put them their because they were too lazy to properly remove and dispose of them.

The bags were causing the blocked drain so once they were removed and the drain pipe was cleared of the build up of sludge and excess gravel that had also been deposited in the drainpipe – it was clear and free flowing again.

On to the next job.
